Her breathing became somewhat rapid involuntarily.
Viktor, however, remained calm and continued:
"The contract on the right is the one I had Liya draft yesterday."
"Sign this contract, and you will become a retainer of the Clavner family. You can choose a job within the family or live here indefinitely."
"Of course, the treatment will be just as good."
Henney was stunned again.
One was a nomination for associate professor, the other was a retainer of the Clevina family.
If she chooses the second option, then she'll be... a member of the Clavner family?
However, the profession of associate professor...
Ahh.
Life is full of choices, as her teacher once taught her.
Two choices were laid out before Henne.
One was her long-cherished dream.
It was her years of hard work and study that were her way of trying to reap the rewards of that effort.

But it wasn't because she was sad, Henne knew perfectly well.
When a feeling of happiness washed over her, it was as if a ray of light had redeemed her entire world.
"professor."
At that moment, she felt incredibly grateful for her life.
I once endured countless cold stares, contempt, ridicule, and insults.
It was as if the bitterness had finally turned into sweetness and the bitterness had been resolved.
Henney placed her hand on her chest, her voice slightly choked with emotion.
"It's really great to have met you."
"Very good."

Heni, lv9→lv10.
First-tier mage.
